Summary:
The 54810 zip code area is home to three schools in the Unity School District, serving students from elementary through high school. While the district as a whole faces academic challenges, there are some standout elements worth highlighting across the schools.
Unity High School stands out with an impressive 96.2% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. In contrast, Unity Middle School boasts a 0% dropout rate, indicating excellent student retention. At the elementary level, Unity Elementary has relatively high proficiency rates in 4th grade science and social studies compared to state averages.
However, the schools generally underperform the state on standardized test scores, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below the Wisconsin averages. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, ranging from 15.8% at Unity Middle to 31.8% at Unity High. Despite these challenges, the schools serve a student population with significant socioeconomic needs, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch eligibility rates. With relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools have the potential to provide more individualized attention, but this has not yet translated into stronger academic results.
